Organ.GrInders Organized.

The organ grinders of this city, says a
writer in the New York Nal and En-
press, have an organization more close
even than the Knights of abor, and they
have parcelled the whole town out in
routes, just as the newspaper carriers
have done in PHILADELPHIA. When any
of the members die or leave for Italy
their routes are sold to the highest bid
der, the amount received going into the
treasury of the organization. There are
now 49, members. Another interesting
fact is that the tunes are adjusted to suit
the taste of different localities. Those
with classical and operate music go
to Fifth avenue and the Murray Hill
streets, while the melodies that are
ground out on the East and West sides
are of a less ambitious character. l am
told that the owner of hand organ and
monkey gets rich enough here in FIVE
years to return to Italy and live the re t
of his life without working. Three or
four dollars day is theaverage income.

he could assure him that his trouble
would not develop into cancer. Douglas
told him that he could not assure him
of this fact, but that he hoped he might
be able to cure him. General Grant then
said IF you think thus, DIR. Douglas,
there is hope for me- Soon after this
Grants carriage came and we went away.
As VIC drove off he told me not to say
anything to the family as to what DR..
Douglas had said. Throughout his whole
sickness General Grants family never
knew how mnch pain he suffered. From
the time of his sickness till his death,
was not two hours absent from him.
Many nights he would walk the floor all
night. When the family would ask him
in the morning how he had rested, he
would say, pretty well, and would try
to appear cheerful. He had the most
terrible pain all the time, and 1 don't
think he had a moments cessation of
pain during those last months. He felt
greatly relieved when he had finished his
book and his happiest days were those
just before his death. During his whole
sickness he never grew irritable or lost
his temper. He was the kindest man
ever knew and he had great love for
his family. Mrs. Grant called him
Ulysses and she was very fond of him.
He always called her Mrs. Grant and he
was certainly one of the best of hus.

A RUNNING FIGHT.
Engagement Between Houston Officials
and Gang of Horse Thieves.


Special to the Gazette.
HOUSTON, TEX, Aug. 29.-On Thurs
day last four mysterious looking men
made their appearance II the Cypress Top
neighborhood, about ten miles north of
this city. They pretended to be stock
men ard appeared to have plenty of
money. Their horses appeared to De
broken down from long riding. and that
night they took four horses belonging to
farmers in that part Of the county and
rode them off, leaving their own horses.
The sheriff Of the county was notified of
these facts and he and his deputies have
been on the qui yive ever since.
They succeeded in locating the
baud near Eureka, about five
miles north of this city on the Central
Railway and this morning posse CO N
sisting of Deputy Sheriff Erickson, Off
GERS Tom Lubbock, Dave Lubbock, Alex
ander Erickson and Bill Glass left the
city to capture the robbers. While hunt
ing around the prairie Captain Luo Deck
saw three OF the thieves sitting in e camp
under q tree. Giving orders to his men
to CT arge and reserve fire until he gave
orders, they rode rapidly toward the des-
peradoes. The thieves seeing that they
were discovered and that fight Was in
evit.ble quickly grabbed their guns,
mounted their horses ard make 3
break for the timber. When about
200 yards from the timber the leader Of
the gang turned and opened fire with his
Winchester upon the pursuing officers.
His comrades likewise opened up and
fired with siXshooters. When within $50
yards of the fleeing party Captain
Lubbock gave his men orders to IRE.
running fight was kept up for about
thirty minu,es, at least forty shots having
chased and followed until they had
reached q point one-half mile in the
woods. Tie officers not being armed
with rifles concluded to abandon the chase
for awhile, and proceeded back to the
camp of the robbers. In the camp they
picked up their slick rs, pair Of spurs,
pocket-knife, two jackets, . jug OF WHISKY
and large quantity of vine, which they
brought back to the city. Ascend posse
left the city about noon to pursue the
| thieves, but they returned tonight with
out finding them. From persons who
saw the robbers about an hour
after the encounter it is learned
that probably one of them is slightly
wounded in the leg and two Of their
horses are badly wounded. From the de-
scription of these men it is thought they
are the gang that robbed the Southern
Pacific train near the state line last
spring. They are desperate men and
cannot be taken alive. A posse will con-
tinue the pursuit tomorrow.
